FORT BRAGG, N.C. — A newly-obtained Pentagon memo has revealed that the military is working to build a Symmetric Warfare Group, sources confirmed today.

The Department of Defense has stood up a multi-service cadre at Fort Bragg, North Carolina with the stated purpose of devising tactics, techniques, and procedures for battling militaries whose strength is comparable to that of the U.S, the memo said.

"This is a huge development for us, and the DoD as a whole," said U.S. Army Col. Leon Korsich, commander of the Symmetric Warfare Group. "We used to think future conflicts would be fought against violent extremists, ragtag insurgents, and rogue hackers, but now we believe they will be fought against near-peer adversaries, with well-trained troops and heavy materiel on opposing sides.

"No one currently serving has real-world experience in that regard," he added.
